Feel Like Your Body Isn’t Responding?
There’s a Reason — and It’s Not Just Calories
If you’ve been trying to lose weight but nothing seems to work, you’re not alone. Many people are doing everything “right”—eating well, exercising regularly—but still feel stuck.
Weight concerns are often not just about food or discipline. They can be a reflection of what’s happening internally—your hormones, metabolism, stress levels, and overall health.
At Serene Clinic, we take the time to understand why your body is holding on to weight.
In person and virtual appointments available
Your body is designed to protect you. When certain systems are out of balance, it can actually resist weight loss, no matter how much effort you put in.
Some of the most common underlying factors include:
Blood sugar imbalance and insulin resistance
Thyroid function and metabolic rate changes
Hormonal shifts
Chronic stress and poor sleep
Gut health
Nutrient deficiencies
Postpartum
These systems are all connected—and when one is off, it can affect everything.
Many patients come to us feeling frustrated and confused. You may relate to some of these experiences:
If this sounds familiar, your body may need support—not restriction.

EXCELLENT Based on 40 reviews Posted on bahareh zohTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Yasmin Amini truly deserves more than five stars. From the moment I arrived at the hospital, she was there in less than an hour and stayed with me the entire night. This was my first labor and delivery, and having her by my side made all the difference. She was the best support I could have asked for—calm, reassuring, and incredibly attentive. She helped me manage the pain with practical tools and constant encouragement, and she was a strong advocate for me with the medical team, making sure my wishes were heard and respected. Thanks to Dr. Yasmin, what could have been a very overwhelming experience became a positive, empowering one. I’m so grateful for her care and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a compassionate, knowledgeable doula and naturopath for their birth journey.Posted on Sanam STrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Having Yasmin as both my naturopathic doctor and doula throughout my pregnancy, labour, and birth was one of the best decisions we made. From the very beginning, she brought a sense of calm, confidence, and deep care that carried us through every stage of the journey. Throughout my pregnancy, her holistic approach to care made me feel supported both physically and emotionally. She took the time to really listen, to educate, and to empower me with natural options and informed choices. Her knowledge as a naturopath was invaluable, and she helped me feel prepared, healthy, and grounded as I approached labour. When it came time for the birth, I honestly don’t know how we would have done it without her. Her presence was steady, intuitive, and incredibly reassuring. She knew exactly when to offer guidance and when to just hold space. She supported not just me, but my partner as well, making sure we both felt safe and cared for in such a vulnerable and powerful moment. We are so grateful to have had her by our side. She wasn’t just a part of our birth team — she became part of our story. I can’t recommend her enough to anyone looking for a deeply compassionate, knowledgeable, and grounded support person. She is truly exceptional.Posted on Giselle D'souzaTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I approached Serene Naturopathic Clinic to have a calm birthing experience and to overcome my fears, and having Yasmin and Penelope as my doulas was truly the best decision I made during my pregnancy journey. They were incredibly knowledgeable and their guidance and care made such a difference. My husband and I felt fully supported throughout the entire labor and birth experience, and thanks to them, it was a very positive and empowering journey. Yasmin and Penelope were also very prompt and responsive, always available to answer my questions and provide reassurance when I needed it the most. I would highly recommend them to any expectant parents looking for compassionate, professional, and calming support — and I look forward to working with them again in the future!Posted on Paul RabindranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Yasmin was our doula for the birth of our first child. She was absolutely fantastic. Most importantly, she did an incredible job supporting my wife through childbirth. My wife describes her as a Godsend. She's extremely knowledgeable and positive. From the moment she stepped into the birthing room she immediately began helping my wife through contractions. As a husband, she was such an immense relief to have in the room. My wife is was having painful contractions and although we'd taken classes, I wasn't successfully providing her with much relief. Having someone as experienced, poised and positive as Dr. Yasmin made the entire experience much less stressful. I could write an essay on how great Dr. Yasmin was. 10/10. If you're not sure about getting a doula, do it. We had no experience with doulas and not many friends/family members that had tried. Incredible service. THANK YOU DR. YASMIN!!!Posted on Caline JabbourTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I was recommended to Serene Clinic by a family member and I could not be more happy. It was straight forward and it was so easy to connect with a naturopathic doctor.Posted on Maggie KozaitisTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. After years of struggling with conventional medicine, I finally felt better after working with Dr. Yasmin. I was listened to and supported and the advice given to me was practical. I felt like there was a plan in place, and felt improvement. I am so impressed with my naturopath and my treatment.Posted on M2Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I've been working with Dr. Yasmin for a few months now, and it's been a great experience. She helped me understand my hormones, and manage my weight. Every session leaves me feeling truly heard and supported. I always walk away with a clear plan for my next steps. If you're looking for genuine care and effective advice I highly recommend Dr. YasminPosted on Rachita SainiTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a baby around the holiday time in December 2025 and only reached out for doula support about 2 weeks before our baby came and we are so glad that we did. Yasmin is absolutely incredible. We had an unfortunately challenging situation at the hospital during delivery and Yasmin was so supportive and empathetic. In a difficult situation, especially as first time parents, there is a lot of unknown that she helped us navigate through it all. She also went above and beyond before and especially after during postpartum. We could not imagine this experience without her and are eternally grateful. We still reach out to her and she never fails to help. We would HIGHLY recommend going with their services and would absolutely work with them again. THANK YOU!Posted on Milani MaheswaranTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We absolutely loved working with Yasmin! She was always available to answer all my questions and was very knowledgeable. She helped us through our entire pregnancy journey and postpartum recovery. She made our experience so much better, especially during labour and delivery, which would not have been as smooth without her! I'd HIGHLY recommend her to anyone looking for a naturopath doula for their pregnancy journey!Posted on Amana ClarkeTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. The doula support I received from Serene was beyond anything I could have imagined. Dr. Yasmin and her team were with me every step of the way, making sure I felt calm and prepared. The birth of my daughter was beautiful and empowering, thanks to their care.Verified by TrustindexTrustindex verified badge is the Universal Symbol of Trust.
